Abstract

See full text

A self-referenced MRAM cell including a reference layer having a fixed reference magnetization, a sense layer having a free sense magnetization, a tunnel barrier, a biasing layer having bias magnetization and a biasing antiferromagnetic layer pinning the bias magnetization in a bias direction when MRAM cell is at temperature equal or below a bias threshold temperature. The bias magnetization is arranged for inducing a bias field adapted for biasing the sense magnetization in a direction opposed to the bias direction, such that the biased sense magnetization varies linearly in the presence of the external magnetic field, when the external magnetic field is oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular to the one of the reference magnetization. The present disclosure further concerns a magnetic field sensor including a plurality of the self-referenced MRAM cell and a method for programming the magnetic field sensor.
